I wonder if BMW, with all thier new models, will have too much overlap and products that compete with themselves. It seems that the M3 and M6 will be fundamentally similar and even the M5(even if it does have 2 more doors). We'll see, maybe they will pull it off.

M6 will be larger and have the v10, 2 things the M3's don't have. I personally don't see much overlap there. The M5 would be closest, and that's a sedan.

Ugly in my opinion...I'd take an AMG or CTS-v over that.

I agree, when did BMW's loose their lines? That car looks like crap.

It is somewhat ugly....atleast in comparison to the previous 5 and 7 series beemers.

AMG's simly look gorgous (everything just flows smoothly), and the CTS-V is looker itself (nice edgy lines that flow well). The new BMW though . The whole body lines just don't flow imo. They've lost their touch.

That's what the next Monaro & GTO will be competing against.

Not as pleasing to the eye the old M5 or the Current M3.

But a lot better than some of Bangle's other meddlings.

I just don't care for those crappy tail-lights though. To much like a new Honda Accord.

I would think that the GTO and Monaro are competitors for the 3series as the 5 and 6 are in a much higher priced market. That said, the 6 is probably the least offensive of the "Bangled" BMWs. I expect it to sell well.
